Yes Sir, I think it will mean a plea. I have discussed the symptoms with him and he says that he did not experience any voices or hallucinations during the delpoyment. That in and of itself does not mean that the disease was not already there, but perhaps the incident provided the psychotic break necessary for it to be diagnosed?

Does the summary mean a plea of guilty? If he is suffering from Schizophrenia, he may have been suffering from it at the time of the alleged offense meaning he may not have understood the nature or of his actions or been capable of resisting an unlawful order. I am going to call to speak to him shortly. I'll get back to you. -----Original Message----- From: Wilschke Capt Alexander R [mailto:alexander.wilschke@usmc.mil] Sent: Thursday, March 11, 2010 7:48 AM To: haytham@puckettfaraj.com Subject: Siddiqi Good Morning Sir, Thinking about it more, here are my thoughts: The CG, MajGen Tryon convened the SPCM. This was done to ensure one convening authority on all of the cases and because the Bn CO did not appear to be calling the shots. Talking with Maj Stewart yesterday he said that no one who can make a decision will do so until they see the 706 results. I think that they are going to use the Schizophrenia diagnosis as the basis to take him to a summary. Cpl Siddiqi wants to take a summary. He does not feel fit mentally to fight much more. In regards to the hardship discharge, perhaps the better course is to push for a medical separation. If the MO is already nervous having Siddiqi around perhaps he will endorse. The 2d Marine Division SJA office is a strange place to try to get any MJ work done. They are all tied up right now with the Haridat Goense Rodriguez accident. However, LtCol Cadwalader is there in a deputy status before he reports to the Navy War College and he is a pretty savvy MJ guy. He is likely going to be the one that is the key to any plays. Maj Stewart is at 910 451 8356 LtCol Cadwalader is at 910 451 9254 Very Respectfully, Capt Alex Wilschke, USMC Defense Counsel Legal Services Support Section (LSSS) 2d Marine Logistics Group Camp Lejeune, NC 28542-0132 Phone: 910-451-8112 DSN: 751-8112 Fax: 910-451-8559 Email: alexander.wilschke@usmc.mil CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: The information contained in or attached to this message may be confidential and is intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed.
